Over My Dead Body



After The Nazis We Were Baited By The Russian Bear

Our "liberators" Wanted Poland For A Thoroughfare

I Was A Victim Of December 1981

I Took A Final Beating From The Blunt End Of A Russian Gun



You Plant Your Missiles While Our People Wait In Line For Bread

You Hang An Army Tank Above Us By A Bloody Thread

You Bought Our Government They Crawl Like Bleating Sheep To You

We Know From History That Human Life Is Cheap To You



Chorus:

Over My Dead Body Redemption Draweth Nigh

Over My Dead Body I Hear A Battle Cry

Try And Blow Out The Fire--you're Fanning The Flames

We're Gonna Rise Up From The Ashes 'til We're Ashes Again



You Make A Mockery Of All That We Hold Sacred Here

You Drive Us Underground In Hopes That We Will Disappear

We Seek Our Sanctuary Where The Altar Candle Burns

Our Dignity's A Legacy The Cross Of Jesus Reaffirms



(chorus)



After The Nazis We Were Baited By The Russian Bear

Our "liberators" Wanted Poland For A Thoroughfare

Rise Up My Brothers Don't Despair The Iron Curtain's Rod

Someday We'll Draw The String Assisted By The Hand Of God



I Was A Victim Of December 1981

I Took A Final Beating From The Blunt End Of A Russian Gun

You Made A Memory--the Memory Will Multiply

You May Kill The Body But The Spirit--it Will Never Die
